Is this book just a parody of the real book?
Should I read Puzo`s book one more time (I`ve only read it three times) rather than vasting my time on this new book?

Pretty much. Don't even waste your time with this garbage. Very little of it is any good, and the stuff that's bad is REALLY bad (see multitude of other threads). Just re-read the original and forget that this crap ever happened (which if you ask me, it didn't!)

It's certainly not intended as a parody.

And while it is pretty awful (as the members here have just about unanimously agreed), I'd read it anyway, just as I would go and see another Godfather film regardless of how poorly it was reviewed.

Yes the book did suck. This book took me 8 months to read. I finally finished it this Summer while on vacation.

He's the one who completley changed storylines around, confused and bored the hell out of everyone. I don't know. Maybe he just could not handle something as big as Godfather... I've heard his other novels are good, but I don't really care to check them out.

i loved this book. deffinetly not my favorite book of all time but still a pleasurable read. i like how windgardner made this book his own. Had it been made without the godfather shadow towering over it it would have done a much better job.
